Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 16 verse 16

 Chapter 16 verse 16

“Possessed and led astray by such imaginings, enveloped in a mesh of delusion, and addicted to the gratification of sensuous pleasures, they descend to the murkiest hell.”

Where is hell and heaven? It is suffered or enjoyed in this material world through the body, mind, intellect and ego instruments. I cannot imagine a different realm for hell or heaven. Mind is a very powerful instrument which can destroy a person’s outlook through delusion, addiction to material gratification or clinging. A sense of higher purpose will be missing in these beings due to strong association to material wants and desires. It can happen to any of us. God’s grace and rightful thoughts and actions at every moment in our lives is the key to escape this slippery slope.
